Subject: jbd2: fix sending of data flush on journal commit
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=81be12c8179c1c397d3f179cdd9b3f7146cf47f1;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

jbd2: fix sending of data flush on journal commit


In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that
an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread
writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction
starts to commit.  In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a
flush to file system device when it is different from the journal
device (because data can still be in disk cache only).

Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added
to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.
